dig your claws, sink your teeth, I will burn everything
clench my jaws, grit my teeth, I am self poisoning
look where I've gone, exhaling the ether steam
condensing my instincts, declaring my needs
trapped in gauze, dreams of flight, broken by haze of light
stretch these walls, this cocoon, pry myself from the womb
a seed begins to swell, and something stirs to breathe
and just beyond this hell, a new dawn waits for me
shining through this shell, horizons I'll live to see
the fire of dawn, the denouement
terror breeds in the dark while you're wasting away
turn your eyes to the fire of dawn
error bleeds us in war, no more running, the lines are drawn
we wait for the sun to set, always running
we hide behind our regret, never growing
you think its the end? this is just beginning
and when you can start again thank the desolation
